Shaking the Foundations is a two-day conference that will feature a series of panels and workshops on a broad range of progressive topics. Panel topics for this year include victim empowerment, environmental justice, immigration, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, disability rights, international human rights, and community organizing to reform the criminal justice system.
